Default GMPP - When?

My 2013 GS is a year old and I have been receiving letters about buying GMPP. I should still have two years of bumper to bumper left on my new car warranty and, with only 10K on the clock, shouldn't be done early based on mileage. My question is, if I decide to keep this car for a while, when should I buy the extended warranty?

A month before the factory warranty runs out. It's a waste of $ to have double coverage. You pay a little extra to wait to the end but it's worth it.
Check with Dennis Fichtner for the best deal and when you must renew. dfichtner@fichtnerchevrolet.com

If you're in CA, Abel Chevrolet in Rio Vista, CA will match any out there. Talk to Rich Wilhoff (RichieRichZ06) Forum member and sponsor.

And, you must get it before the original warranty runs out.

Best prices/advice/customer service, anywhere.
